Haven't red this ng for a few months so forgive me if I'm out of date. Does GPL work properly with TNT now? Last I heard it worked but the in-car view ran too slowly. Has it been fixed. Just read a review of a 400mhz PII with one for 800 inc VAT. I'm tempted to say the least.

Resolution 1152x768 training,in car veiw is a constant 18fps. I didn't bother with a race but... Dropping the res down to 640x480 didn't help as much as i thought 23fps. If anyone would like some specific benchmark numbers just give me a yell. Paul..

Hmmm I get 36FPS constant in prctise and quite often in a race (as long as there are not too many other cars about) with all details on On a V550 on a PII 350 oc'd to 392. Methinks yr doin something not quite right! Running in car at 1024x768

You could try to oc it to 465. I've just recently done that for someone with a boxed (retail) PII 350 on a Asus P2B at 133MHz/2V. The P2B takes care of the PCI clock automatically. The thing didn't want to run on 112/392MHz because in that case the PCI clock was too high (37MHz, can't change that on a P2B). Don't forget to set your RAS/CAS settings to the highest (=slowest) value. Btw, the PII isn't sweating yet, maybe it could have gone even higher. -- Ren van Lobberegt, The Netherlands.

And it still works great!!! (because he and I did it on my computer) With thanks to Intell because they make their cpu's better than the original speed. Because of the boxed version I have still 3 years warranty. Don't forget to cool it a bit more with an extra heatsink and cooling fan! Ruud. Ren van Lobberegt heeft geschreven in bericht ...

It's still not as good as it should be. You can change a setting in core.ini so only as little as 1/8 of the mirrors get updated on each frame. With this done I get above 30 fps at 1024x768 most of the time during races. I'm not too thrilled with how the rear-view mirrors look with this setting; overall I like it about as much as using my Pure3d (voodoo1) which must run in 640x480 to get comparable framerates, but you get rull-speed mirrors. rob.
